Chapter 41 -41 This Distance Is Too Close_1

Xia Qingtian’s soft voice rang out, imbued with a trembling undertone that sounded incredibly helpless.

Bo Jingyan frowned, his dark eyes focused forward as he asked in a cold tone, “Where are you now?”

“I am at…” Xia Qingtian looked around with her phone, but she had no idea where she was.

Seeing her confusion, an older man nearby tried to communicate with her in the local language.

Xia Qingtian didn’t understand.

The man pointed to her phone, so she handed it over.

After taking the phone, the man quickly communicated with Bo Jingyan in the local language, telling him their current location.

Once Bo Jingyan was informed, he thanked the man briefly and hung up.

The elderly man, after finishing the call, kindly patted Xia Qingtian’s shoulder, reassuring her not to worry as someone would be coming for her soon.

Xia Qingtian gratefully watched him leave.

After ending the call, Bo Jingyan abruptly stood up, his expression stern.

The others in the conference room were puzzled by the sudden movement, including the man who was reporting, who paused, not knowing whether to continue his report.

“We’ll recess the meeting. Anything else can wait until I return!”

Bo Jingyan coldly left these words behind before leaving with great haste, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

This woman is really troublesome!

Bo Jingyan left in a hurry, his expression reflecting a hint of worry that he himself didn’t notice, as if he was anxious about something.

…

Xia Qingtian had been waiting by the roadside for who knows how long.

“Screech—”

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp brake echoed.

Abruptly, two headlights shone brightly on Xia Qingtian, startling her greatly.

She quickly shielded her eyes with her hands.

The sound of the car door opening suddenly rang out.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but stand up and look in that direction.

In her view, Bo Jingyan’s tall figure appeared in the bright light.

He was dressed in a black trench coat, his short hair gently fluttering in the wind. His handsome face was extraordinarily captivating under the glow, his icy eyes were gazing at her, his expression slightly solemn.

It’s Bo Jingyan!!!

Xia Qingtian was immediately relieved and her anxious heart settled.

Bo Jingyan looked her up and down.

At that moment, she was wearing a knee-length skirt coated with mud and dust. There were two large bags of things on the ground, making her look somewhat disheveled.

“I’m sorry for troubling you.” Xia Qingtian looked at Bo Jingyan with an embarrassed expression. Seeing his eyes fixed on her, she lowered her head in discomfort.

“Pick up your things and let’s go.” Bo Jingyan’s face showed no emotion, it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, his tone was as indifferent as ever.

Hearing this, Xia Qingtian hastily picked up the bags from the ground, and just as she was about to walk, she suddenly felt a numbness in her feet, causing her to fall forward uncontrollably—

Her feet were numb from squatting for too long!!!

Seeing this, Bo Jingyan instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist, preventing her from falling.

“Thank you!” After steadying herself, Xia Qingtian quickly expressed her gratitude, but the things in her hands were too heavy and she unintentionally stepped back.

“Ah—”

She suddenly stepped on a stone. Without any warning, Xia Qingtian twisted her left foot harshly.

Stumbling, she instantly fell to the ground in embarrassment, bags slamming on the ground and the contents scattering everywhere.

It hurts…

Xia Qingtian felt the pain welling tears in her eyes.

How could she be so clumsy?

She had even twisted her foot while walking normally!

It seemed that Bo Jingyan was used to her getting into trouble. He watched her sit on the ground and reached out to help her up, his gaze shifting to her swollen ankle.

“Is it badly twisted?” As he spoke, Bo Jingyan squatted partially and lifted her foot to check the injury.

What was he doing?!

Seeing Bo Jingyan kneeling before her, Xia Qingtian was taken aback.

She hastily withdrew her foot, but accidentally pulled a muscle, causing a bone-piercing pain to spread from her foot. She squealed and uncontrollably toppled forward…

Bo Jingyan quickly rose and embraced her, making her lean onto his chest.

“It hurts, hurts, hurts…” Xia Qingtian’s tears flowed from the pain, stammering as she tried to speak.

“Who asked you to move abruptly?”

She couldn’t even stay still for him to check her injury.

Bo Jingyan’s deep, displeased voice came from above.

Xia Qingtian gritted her teeth in pain, feeling like her foot was about to give out.

Seeing her inability to walk, Bo Jingyan had no choice but to turn around and let her lean on his back. He stooped slightly, his voice cold as he ordered, “Hold on tight, get on.”

“Huh?!”

Xia Qingtian’s hands were on Bo Jingyan’s solid back, enduring the foot pain while listening to his words, her face reflecting mixed emotions.

What was going on?

Was Bo Jingyan going to carry her?!

“Are you waiting for me to invite you on?” Seeing her hesitate for some time, Bo Jingyan’s face turned a degree colder. He practically growled out the words.

“I, I’m on.”

Seeing Bo Jingyan angry, Xia Qingtian panicked and without thinking too much, she clambered onto his back.

Once she was on his back, Bo Jingyan wordlessly carried her toward the car.

Xia Qingtian rested her hands on Bo Jingyan’s shoulders without daring to hold on too tightly.

His back was broader than she thought, and it gave a greater sense of security than she had imagined.

A gust of wind blew past, the trees rustling on both sides. Neither of them spoke.

Bo Jingyan brought her to the car, one hand supporting her while the other opened the car door. He gently placed her on the back seat.

“Thank, thank… ”

Xia Qingtian nervously adjusted her skirt, her head lowered, cheeks burning, she awkwardly thanked him.

She didn’t expect Bo Jingyan to have such a gentle side.

Actually, he isn’t that bad.

Just a bit fierce occasionally.

Bo Jingyan didn’t say a word. He closed the car door and moved her groceries to the back of the car then got in from the other side.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, he buckled his seat belt and glanced at Xia Qingtian in the rear-view mirror. She was continually massaging her foot, his attention more focused on her than before.

Without uttering a word, Bo Jingyan started the engine. As he was getting ready to drive away, he suddenly felt a resistance. The car wouldn’t start.

Bo Jingyan slightly knitted his eyebrows, tried again a few times, only to have his face darken instantly.

Xia Qingtian quickly noticed that something was wrong, looked toward the front and curiously asked, “What’s wrong?”

Bo Jingyan, maintaining his composure, tried several times but the car still wouldn’t start.

With furrowed brows, he suddenly spoke. His voice carried a trace of sternness, “The car broke down.”

Xia Qingtian was stunned, murmuring, “What are we going to do then…”

“Get out of the car first.”

After Bo Jingyan said this in his usual cold tone, he quickly exited and closed the car door. Then he opened the car door on Xia Qingtian’s side, leaned in and extended his hand, straight-faced, saying, “Come.”

Xia Qingtian was stunned. She looked at him bewildered, hesitantly extending her hand.

Bo Jingyan quickly grabbed Xia Qingtian’s hand, wrapped his arm around her waist, and carried her out of the car.

“Ah!”

Feeling her body suspended in the air, Xia Qingtian gave a low cry, immediately embracing Bo Jingyan’s neck and leaning against his chest.
